Warsmith Manat-Yi Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) So I'm playing around with a squat 1500pt list to play with my friends who are still building up their forces. I'm not sure if this works or not, since the wording of the orbital assault gives terminators DS, but doesn't appear to require them to start in deepstrike reserve. This means I can keep my cataphractii in reserve, but Golg and the Tyrants stay on the ground. Maybe I'm missing a faq that prevents this But idk.++ The Age of Darkness (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List) [1500pts] +++ HQ +Erasmus Golg [175pts]+ Troops +Legion Terminator Squad [390pts]: Cataphractii Terminator Armour.

Spiritual Liege Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 You totally can keep the Tyrants on board turn 1. Cool theme. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338846-iron-warriors-orbital-1500/#findComment-4883671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Manat-Yi Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 You totally can keep the Tyrants on board turn 1. Cool theme. That's what I figured. It's a dumpy list but nobody in my area plays larger games. Plus if I have the terminator body count I might as well use it!

Warsmith Manat-Yi Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Here's a slightly modified Golg list. Five less terminators for a pod squad with a vox. Gives the opponent something different to shoot t1 and a potential forward point for teleporting.++ The Age of Darkness (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List) [1500pts] +++ HQ +Erasmus Golg [175pts]+ Troops +Legion Tactical Squad [190pts]: Legion Drop Pod, 9x Legion Tactical Space Marines.

Spiritual Liege Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I don't really get the point of taking Tacticals. How about a Contemptor in a DDP instead? You'd have to drop a few Terminators but it shouldn't matter + deepstriking 8 man Terminator squads is already risky so reducing to 5 or so might help you deepstriking them more safely.

Well the idea is to have something to get safe deepstrikes around. Plus I always feel like I get more mileage out of ten good men than a single contemptor in actual games. Maybe in smaller games it'd be more valuable since there's less out there that can kill it. That said, any 1500pt lists I've seen online or on the table would likely struggle against so much 2+ anyway. With a dread on the table as well it's almost unnecessary.

Spiritual Liege Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 A Dread would suit the veteran theme better but do what you do. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338846-iron-warriors-orbital-1500/#findComment-4898767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
